As we get ready to bid farewell to 2017 and welcome in 2018, I thought I would share this handy reference tool, the Gnome Snow Gauge, with very best wishes for a happy new year.
I had to laugh. Hope theres gno more snow in 2018…
Glad you enjoyed it egnome-ously.
One good reason for having a gnome in the garden.😀
They only work within fairly slim tolerances – once the hat gets submerged, that’s it.
This made me laugh. In a time when no one thinks for themselves, the Gnome measures the snow and gives a report. One post I am writing is “My Phone Knows” about all the things I store in my phone instead of my brain. Loved this!
Now, that’s an idea! My phone knows lots of things I don’t!
Brilliant 🙂
Thanks, Su 🙂
Love your snow Gnome gauge .. lol! A very happy NY to you 🙂
Thanks, Julie – and to you too!
I love it. Hilarious and practical at the same time. Best wishes for 2018, Susan.
Thank you – best wishes to you too! There’s nothing like a bit of garden whimsy to end (or start) the year.
So fun and cute!
Thanks!
Sure!
Ha, ha, ha, fantastic. The start to our new year had the gnome sneaking its way inside and wishing for a sunny destination.
I hope his feet were a bit cleaner than my sweetheart’s when he came in from a quick flurry of gardening.
